fix(binding): handle trusted directories on Windows

[dajiaohuang]

Summary

Fix Windows trusted-directory containment so files below an allowed directory pass the binding audit. Both the target and configured roots are resolved before the platform-aware relative-path check, preventing parent symlinks from escaping the trusted boundary.

Changes

• Replace the hard-coded / descendant check with platform-aware relative-path containment.
• Resolve the effective path and trusted roots before comparing containment.
• Cover nested paths, sibling-name prefixes, parent-symlink escapes, and symlinked trusted roots.

Test Plan

• go test ./internal/binding -count=1 on native Windows
• go test ./internal/binding ./internal/transport -count=1 on Linux (Go 1.25 container; includes both symlink regressions)
• go vet ./...
• go run github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/v2/cmd/golangci-lint@v2.1.6 run --new-from-rev=origin/main
• go run -C lint . --changed-from origin/main ..
• make unit-test (GNU make is unavailable in the Windows audit environment; affected packages passed on Linux, and the binding package passed on Windows)

Related Issues

• Fixes fix(binding): accept files nested under trusted directories on Windows #2478

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved trusted-directory validation to reject similarly prefixed sibling paths.
  • Prevented access through symlinked parent paths that escape trusted directories.
  • Continued to allow valid files accessed through symlinked trusted directories.
  • Added safeguards for paths that cannot be resolved and ignored unresolved trusted-directory entries.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Trusted-directory validation resolves the effective path and trusted directories before applying platform-aware containment checks. Tests cover sibling-prefix rejection, parent-symlink escapes, and symlinked trusted directories.

Changes

Trusted directory containment

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolved containment validation internal/binding/audit.go, internal/binding/audit_test.go	requireInTrustedDirs resolves paths with symlink evaluation and uses filepath.Rel to reject parent escapes and absolute results. Tests cover sibling prefixes, escaping symlinks, and symlinked trusted directories.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 13267

The Windows trusted-directory containment fix is covered by Windows and Linux tests, while the remaining issue is limited to test fixtures using direct symlink creation without the required local exception. It has no expected product or runtime impact but should receive owner follow-up.

filepath.Rel to resolve the full target path and each trusted directory through
parent symlinks before comparison, using platform-correct filepath handling so
Windows symlinks are covered; retain rejection for targets resolving outside
trusted directories and add coverage for a symlinked parent escaping the trusted

around os.MkdirAll, os.WriteFile, and os.Symlink with the corresponding
internal/vfs operations, preserving their validated paths and existing test
behavior. If any call cannot use internal/vfs, keep it within a bounded
local-only boundary and add a precise forbidigo suppression explaining the
necessity.
